Joe, whoa, nobody is going to pass on any taxes for California's problem. No, no, no. You are going to have to fix things yourself. The world is not going to end, and California could emerge stronger than ever when the problem is solved.

Joe, I'll stay away from the blame game - but its you who keeps coming back blaming the feds, but not really backing it up. But I won't go there since you would rather focus on a solution. Then again, I posted my solution many posts ago - and apparantly you just disregard it because it doesn't include the Fed or other states or citizens bailing out California. In brief, my solution had 2 prongs - letting the price of energy rise to where demand started to slow. There will be a point where the price of the supply will cause a reduction in the demand - that is after all how typical markets work. The other prong was relaxed regulations and restrictions on building new capacity in California. No more relying on Wahington, Oregon, Mexico, and others to do it for you. Make it easy for whoever wants to to build new energy generating plants in California. As far as an export tax idea - lol, keep dreaming. But hey, there is no reason people who produce goods in CA can't raise their prices. Nothing stopping them - and when / if they do, the marketwould decide if their products at an increased price are worth purchasing in lieu of alternative products, options or actions. Kind of the same choice you and everyone else has with respect to electric power. A market based solution - who da thunk it ???

Solution- lay off the triple espressos, and lose the caps and bold type. Sheesh! Seriously, the more pain and suffering Calif. goes through on the way to a solution, the better. People seem to forget pain and suffering are our best teachers and more importantly motivators. Now I realize recent generations don't buy into this, they want everything handed to them, inherit wealth created from someone else, retire by 30( thank god that one has taken a hit recently), but tough. Calif. made their bed, now they can deal with it, learn from it, and if they're smart fix the root cause and see to it it doesn't happen again.
